If ATT UVerse doesn't pull itself together

And get this ACCN deal done by say … the 23rd , I may have to YouTubeTV subscribe . This is an unfortunate and disappointing development in an otherwise above average year .

That's the plan . Wait until about 2 days out then get the free run and wait to see what goes down before it runs out .

I'm in the same boat, no pun intended, UVerse is my provider. I'll provably Hulu or You Tube for the game and see what happens.

I'm in the same boat as well. Our other problem in my house is that UVERSE dropped NFL NETWORK (which my son lives for). It appears maybe PLAYSTATION VUE gets that, so anyone else looking at that? Thoughts?

I had Vue back in 2016-17 and was pleased (only went back with DirecTV for a pkg to get kids new cell phones....regret that move so completely). As long as you have good internet with 15mb-20mb should have minimal buffering issues. I didn't have much issue with Vue or Hulu Live (DirecTV Now and Sling were horrible to buffer tho).
FYI - Vue is probably the closest to 'cable' that streaming has. And FYI2 - live sports - don't listen on radio as you watch on streaming - there is about 20-30 sec delay from live TV.

Tigerdug - having been with Uverse for over 15 years, I don't trust them. I've already ordered a a Roku Ultra & plan to subscribe to YouTube TV. If it works out, I might keep the ATT internet & dump the ATT TV service. If not, I'll just subscribe to both during football season.

By the way - does your work take you to such places - on vacation - or just independently wealthy & touring the world?

Work has me here and there , where there is water water everywhere .
I do travel quite a bit though . I have flown to both Bermuda and Barbados in the last few years . Wealth , being a relative term is no relative of mine … not even a distant 3rd cousin twice removed .

No relative of mine either! But that's okay.
I used to travel a fair amount, but technology shifts "allow" me to do almost everything from home now. Can get a little drab, though.
Been doing essentially the same thing for 43 years. No plans to retire. I think I'd quickly go nuts.

I agree! I am counting on Comcast. I called and they told me they expect to have a deal soon but could not confirm when. I am moving in December so I really don’t want to add another provider but I may have to

Charter Spectrum cable finally came through on the ACCN. I’m sure the others will, although AT&T is a complete disaster. I used them in our business until I could no longer deal with their completely unacceptable customer service, so switched our phone service.

I was with ATT/Directv for over 20 years. Once ATT bought DTV out it went downhill from there. I switched to YOUTUBE TV and love it. At my house, I have good unlimited Internet and on my phone, I have unlimited data as long as it's not a hotspot. So I take my iPhone and play it thru the HDMI port of AIRPLAY and I can watch unlimited and I get no buffering. Can't say how it will work on the water for you but it does work great for me.
